Financing

Should I refinance?

When interest rates fall, a homeowner should certainly explore the possible benefits of refinancing; however, you should discuss your financial situation and goals with your lender before making a final decision. Are you looking to lower your monthly payment? Consolidate debts? Get cash out for a large purchase? Change your interest deduction expense for your taxes? Ask your lender to provide you with a few refinancing scenarios that outline how your loan's term, monthly payment, and total interest expense will change. After reviewing these scenarios, you'll have a more clear picture as to whether or not the cost to refinance is worth it for you.
